Interview: Josh Scott of JHS (Fretboard Journal Podcast

JHS founder Josh Scott joins Jason this week on the Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about guitar media, following your passion, marketing, work/life balance and so much more.
We talk about how JHS was founded, the JHS Show on RUclips (and the work that goes into it), guitar media, printed matter in 2024, events, social media, the enduring power of Facebook (and paper books!), marketing advice, and more. We also talk about JHS's participation in the Mid South gravel bike festival (www.midsouthgravel.com). Rumor has it, we'll be teaming up with JHS and Mid South for a fun bike ride at the 2024 Chicago Fretboard Summit 2024.

Excited to read the books, Josh. Thank you for getting the stories and history out there. And I love the precept of “just try stuff.”

I discovered JHS because Josh was talking about a pedal I was interested in. After I got the pedal I put JHS on the top of my list and have since got a couple and am looking to get the Notaklon next.

Josh does bring up a great point about Facebook, which is partially why I still use it. It seems that as time progresses, people migrate to more and more limiting social media platforms which is odd. Twitter for example is strictly dedicated to limited text maybe some videos now and then, Instagram’s emphasis is on photos and small videos, and TikTok is dedicated strictly to videos. Facebook gives us all of these things in a much less restrictive fashion, and has the communal pages.
